This is a really nice authentic Italian deli, specialty market (small), hot deli, and bakery. I had the meatball sandwich which was delicious and some almond frosted cookies. Everything was fresh and the service was excellent. I was told there is almost always a line, so be prepared to wait in line a bit. But it's worth it.

Heaven on earth. An authentic Italian store, deli and bakery off the 5. I just finished the Great Grandpa sub. 10 stars. I bought homemade sauce, pasta, and cannoli. I'll be back.
Any time I go to OC I have to stop by my favorite Italian market, Claro’s to stock up on Biscotti, Italian bread and Sfogliatelle 😋
I also got the Great Grandpa Joe sandwich with hard salami, mortadella, provolone and other delicious things, the provolone was by far the freshest and tastiest I’ve ever had. The large is a perfect size for 2 people to split even though I could eat a whole one.
Claro’s has 6 locations but nothing in the San Diego area, I guess it’s best they don’t because I’d look like a bigga meataball.
I was also able to get my favorite comfort pasta Pastina. 😁
